Ingredients
- Quakers Oats – 3 Tbsp
- Green Beans – 15
- Carrot – 1
- Green Peas – 1/4 Cup
- Sweet Corn – 1/4 Cup (optional)
- Milk – 1/2 cup
- Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
- Salt
- Sugar – 1/4 tsp
- Cilantro /Coriander Leaves (Optional)
- Time to Prepare: 20 min
Directions
-
Wash and cut Carrots and Green Beans into small pieces and cook them in a pressure cooker until you hear 2 whistles or cook in microwave for 6-8 min. The vegetables should be half cooked. As you follow the next steps, ensure that the vegetables are not cooked fully and turn too soft – soups with partially cooked vegetables taste much better in my experience and perhaps healthier too.
-
Heat ½ cup of water in a vessel or pan. Transfer the cooked vegetables to this vessel. Also add Green Peas, Sweet Corn and allow to cook for 5 min.
-
At this stage, add Quakers Oats and cook for 5 more minutes. Once you add the Oats, the whole mixture turns a bit thick. If needed add ¼ cup of water to the mixture and keep stirring so that the Oats do not turn into lumps and these Oats are cooked well.
-
Now add Pepper Powder, Sugar and Salt and heat for a minute. Finally add Milk and stir once and boil the mixture for a minute more. Do not overheat/cook this Soup mixture for more than 2 minutes once you add the Milk. You can skip the Milk if you want to by adding ½ cup of Water instead, but Milk provides better taste. See to it that the Oats Soup turns out to be sufficiently thin to your preference.
-
Oats Vegetable Soup is now ready to serve. If needed garnish with Cilantro/Coriander Leaves.
-
Serve Oats Vegetable Soup hot.
